"Gifts" from Cartier SAs

Ask and ye shall receive!

I *love* their champagne. It's more fun in the boutique for obvious reasons, but I like having a couple bottles at home as well.

As said the Campagne is one of the best

... but still have 4 large and 1 small bottles sitting @Home

My SA always give 1-2 candles per purchase, travel pouches, cleaning kit, CNY envelopes, and christmas trays. Receive small champagnes and also big one (not cartier logo).

Curious if anyone has gotten a pouch for earrings? Is it the same as the ring pouch? The one I received just has one compartment which seems silly since the earrings will just scratch each other. I didn't know if I should inquire about a better pouch or just use the box they came in... ? Thanks!

I received 2 small pouches, 1 for each earring, so they don't scratch each other.

You should get a separate small pouch for each earring, there’s no divider in the pouch so I think your earrings would get scratched otherwise! I’ve gotten the big pouch also, but that has additional pockets inside. Maybe ask them for another small pouch?

Here is a story of a gift to, not from, a Cartier SA.

I made appointments at Le Bon Marché in mid-December 2021 at both the Cartier and Fendi boutiques. I had specific items on my list, and wanted to shop as quickly as possible, due to the virus.

Service at the Cartier boutique was, shall we say, perfunctory, while at Fendi service was excellent. My spend at both was about the same - 7,000€. To give you an idea of my profile, I shop 2x/year at Cartier, almost always for timepieces. I’m at the highest level of fidelity points at LBM, which I think helps to get good service.

Anyway, I shopped at Cartier first, bought a watch in about 15 min, and left DH there on a comfortable love seat while I went to Fendi. Cartier offered him water, nothing for me.

At Fendi they had a calligrapher that day to personalize the box of whatever you bought. I declined for lack of time. As a gift, the SA gave me a centrepiece of a glass bowl with 2 tea lights and fresh seasonal greens, all wrapped in a big red bow in a Fendi shopping bag.

I took this present back to the Cartier boutique to pick up DH. This gift, while attractive, was not to our taste, so I offered the Fendi gift to the Cartier SA, saying I can’t use this, would you like it? She was quite pleased, replying well it would be a shame to have it go to waste.

Maybe next time, she’ll give ME a little something.

I've had the same SA for a number of years and he's been very generous with me. I've received gifts in the mail when I least expected it. He's even sent some for my husband, who is a Panthere lover. Over the years, I've gotten perfume, stationary, the special red Cartier wax with a stamper, porcelain trays, Christmas ornaments, a limited edition print, etc. I once teased him and asked how come I'd never gotten a champagne bottle or candle after all my purchases, and he made sure to have those delivered to my hotel room during my subsequent visit!

Love to see pictures! They all sound so so good.

I am shocked!

No offense intended.

Omg no! I am shocked your SA hasn’t sent you any gift or gives your gift with purchase. You are probably her/his VP client.

No, not VIP I think.
I usually shop in a department store boutique at LBM so that I can accumulate store fidelity points. The service can be different from a stand-alone Cartier boutique, although the staff are Cartier employees. Frankly I don’t buy Cartier for the gifts-with-purchase, but do appreciate receiving invites to events, and getting first access to new products.
